Overview

Al-Mughira ibn Nawfal ibn al-Harith, of the sons of al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. Al-Mas'udi mentions him in the attack on Ali ibn Abi Talib: when the people rushed upon Ibn Muljam after his blow, al-Mughira struck his face and felled him, then brought him to al-Hasan. 2

The data record nothing beyond this report, and his year of death and the rest of his life need an additional source.
